Aims

o The course re-visits micro and macro economic concepts, illustrated via the Belgian economic situation, with a time- (last decades, not to say centuries) and space- perspective (comparison with other European countries or groups of countries according to the theme). o It is thus more a course of general culture for the application of economic concepts aiming a better un-derstanding of the Belgian (and European) economic situation - No new theoretical corpus.
